The East Central Community College Players’ will present Tim Kelly’s “M*A*S*H” at 7 p.m. October 30-31 and November 2-3, 2009. The annual dinner theater will be held in Mabry Memorial Cafeteria on the Decatur campus.

Tickets are available for $15 each by calling the College switchboard at 601-635-2111 or toll free 1-877-462-3222. There will also be matinee performances at 9 a.m. October 28-29 for $5.

The comedy is directed by Joan Grimes, who also serves as the College’s Director of Tech Prep Education.

According to Grimes, “The free-flowing comedy focuses on two unpredictable madcaps, Hawkeye and Duke, who also happen to be two of the best chest surgeons in South Korea. The duo decides to wage a campaign to get a young Korean to the United States and entered into a good school. The thread of this effort helps tie together the pileup of comic adventures that pyramid right before the eyes of the audience!”
